Reps: 27 (power: 0) | | | That Sarfati creationist moron...
You remember Sarfati - that "liar" who hasn't updated his article to reflect the fact that more Ambulocetus bones were found. (Of course, NAS is perfectly innocent, although it hasn't updated its site, either.)
Anyway, apparently, he's not just a liar, but a certified moron, too. At a recent creationist convention, someone challenged him to a multiple chess match since he used to play a lot of chess. So he played 8 people simultaneously -- blindfolded -- and won all 8 games. I'm sure you evolutionists could handle at least 16 games blindfolded with your hands tied behind your backs and gagged.

You can't? Then you must not be as smart as that Sarfati guy! Evolution must be a hoax!

You keep track of everything in your head. I used to play a blind woman (a chess master) who didn't use a board at all.

Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | | So if Gary Kasporov believes in evolution, then evolution is obviously true!
What about other games? I can play Go blind (calling out the moves). So obviously I'm much more correct that most Creationists.
Can arguments get any more desperate? |
